Puff pastry donuts, made with a sheet of puff pastry from the freezer! You will love the hot pink berry glaze on these donuts, but they’re also great dipped in cinnamon sugar!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hot<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My love for puff pastry just reached new heights. (The height of a stack of donuts, of course).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Puff pastry is the buttery rich little dough that bakes up shiny and golden brown, it fries up puffy and light, and it shatters at the touch of a fork when you devour it. If I had to live the rest of my life with only one dough, puff pastry would be my choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am so very glad I always have a box of puff pastry in the freezer. Especially on Sunday mornings. I also have how to make puff pastry<\/strong><\/span><\/a> (also known as rough puff pastry) on my site. And plenty of other ways to use it in these puff pastry recipes<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Sunday morning? Well, in a word: DONUTS. Yes, we love beignets<\/strong><\/span><\/a> and Amish donuts<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. But these puff pastry donuts come together so fast!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Puffy, crispy, flaky fried little donuts<\/strong><\/span><\/a>! All for you! Or you and someone else in your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so easy, too! Just 6 ingredients, including the glaze!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actually, these puff pastry donuts so easy that I added them to the weeknight dinner rotation the last time I made breakfast for dinner. These easy fried donuts were our dessert that night!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve long debated the proper donut serving size for two people on this site. I want to say that a half dozen donuts is slightly too much for two people, but we never have any leftovers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I even let baby Camille have half of a donut. Her little eyes lit up at the sight of the hot pink frosting. She licked her little fingers and smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’ve ever had a cronut, the texture to these donuts is similar. They shatter at first bite and the layers melt in your mouth. They’re not at all cake-y; they’re light and crisp. I rolled them in sugar when they came out of the fry oil, but it’s entirely optional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mixed berry glaze on top is made up of raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries. Use your favorite berry, or a mix of all 3!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you try these puff pastry donuts, you’ll always keep a box of puff pastry<\/span> in your freezer for your next donut craving. And for that, I should probably apologize to anyone preparing for bikini season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But as for me, I’m just committing to wearing a one-piece this year right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I’m also committed to getting every last drop of this glaze onto every corner and crevice of these donuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
